hi, all!

hope everyone is doing well. i have another alcohol question and i'm hoping someone can help me out.

the nice man at the liquor store just gave me a free miniature of Kleiner Feigling Vodka "with natural fig flavor added". i am hoping i can drink it and see what it tastes like. can't say i've ever had a fig drink before! :) the website, though, is in german, and i can't seem to locate any info on its contents. so that's the 1st question -- anybody know anything about German vodka?

the second question is, i know that distilled grain alcohol is ok for most of us... should i obsessively check on gluten-free status of products in this alcohol family? or only when it is flavored? i'm kind of confused... when i started this journey, my dietitian said no alcohol but wine, rum and tequila. i was very excited to learn i have more options than that. it has been slow going learning what all is still out there that i can have though! :D

You really should check it since it is flavored. There could be gluten added with the flavoring.

Distilled alcohol loses the gluten in the process but this theory is debated here back and forth.

Some people can't even have the distilled alcohol as you stated. I've had vodka since being diagnosed and I think its ok for me.

In the U.S. "natural" anything flavor means it's made from just that. Natural cherry flavor is made from cherries. I cannot tell you for certain it applies to imports.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
